TRUMP, OF SYRhCUSE, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO THE SOLVAY PROGESS COM-w v PANY, OF SOLVAY, NEW YORK, A CORPORATION OF NEW, YORK.

GAS-PRODUCER.

Patented July 14, 1908.;

Application filed June 1. 1907.- Serial No. arenas.

To all whom it may concern:

I it known that 1, EDWARD N. TRUMP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Gas-Producer, of which the following is a specification. I

My invention relates to improvements in gas producers. I

My obect is to provide improved means for the discharge of the ash therefrom.

My invention comprises improvements in thestructure shown in patent to me No. 813,600 dated Feb. 27, 1906, and relates especially to means for the supporting, guiding and actuating of the discharging knife orknives adapted to sweep the stationary table or platform spaced below the lower end of the gas producer chamber.

Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a vertical cross section of a producer showing my improvement. Fig.2 is .a partly broken plan view on'an enlarged scale. Fig;

1 3 is. a vertical section on line 3, 3 of. Fig. 2.

Fig.4 is a similar view showing roller bearings instead of ball bearings. Fig. 5 is a similar view showing a plain or sliding hear-- ing for the knife supporting structure.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views. v

In Fig. 1, I show in section the gas producer similar to that shownin'my patent above referred to, in which the table'fi is stationary, while the knives 7 and 8 extend across the table from center to periphery and are caused to rotate to sweep the same.

These. knives are shown as curved so'as to present the desired working face similar to that previously described, in my above rneu-- tinned. patent. It is obvious however; that other forms of knife may be used Without (1 parting from the spiritof this invention.-;

In Figs. Zand 2 I have shownniore in do tail the arrangementof the moving'parts. The knives 7 and 8 are given-a hook forma tion so that they will engage about the collar- 1 Qforming part of the twyer structure,or fixed blast pi e 10. This collar 9 is provided with a he the hook ends of the knives 7 and 8, and

position of said knives with respect to the table. The outer ends of knives 7 and 8 are bolted to brackets 12' and 13, which in turn."v

- gear 22 I Fig.4, .1 show substantially the same construction with the exception that ,"i'll lieu i of the anti-friction balls Band-".19, I have :form section, of 'the ashes, which maybe ,nge 11 which projects over tionary tab are part of or secured to, the circular late structure 14 beneath the stationary ta le 6. This sup orting pl'ate,1.4 surrounds the stationary rum' 15 of the framework whichsupports the table or platform 6. A channeis formed beneath the stationary plat-; form 6 by the annular projections or ribs 16. In this channel are seated a series of anti friction balls.17 for engaging the upperside of the plate 14. The annular rib 18 project 1 ing downwardly from the underside of plate 14 cooperates with the stationary supporting structure 15 to form a second annular channel to receive the anti-friction balls 19, Thus is formed a ball bearing support for the r05" tating su porting plate'14 smooth the sta-, tionary p atfor-m 6, and in connection with the foundation parts of the producer.- Beneath the supporting plate 14 at the outer periphery "thereof, is secured the beveled gear 20'adapted to coop rate with the'bev v eledpinion 2 1, operate through the Worm from any suitable source of power.

substituted the antifriction beveled rollers 2-3and 24. While in F i 5 I showa' ifurther modification "that is, in ieu of the anti-trio tion balls'or'rollel's, I provide. a simple or plain slidin bearing between the supporting plate 14 an thestationary'parts. 1

' The" knives may be used eithersmgly or double, and operate to sweep out from under the mass or column of ashes and coal a univaried by the taper of the knife from too to heel; x The movement'of the knife causes the 'cylinder of material aboveto dro down uni-' forinly overthe. whole area, an as the arch "of'materi-al behind the knife falls 'itlcauses the descentpf the'w'e'dged shaped portion, to the. top of the massyand thus keeps the wholebed 'oficoal movement, leaving it; porous 1 1 and free from coke for clinker 'masses, and withoutholes;
